Reports surfacing in Italy recently have suggested that Juventus fans are less than happy with the proposed signing of Dejan Stankovic from rivals Inter Milan.
It appears the crux of the issue relates to Stankovic's overzealous celebrations of Inter Milan's Scudetto win after the "calciopoli" match fixing scandal in 2006, which saw the Bianconeri relegated to Serie B.
What is surprising here is that Stankovic is actually a talented and experienced footballer who is captain for his national side, Serbia.
This got me thinking: Is there one player out there who you really wouldn't want your team to sign?
As a Manchester United fan, there are some players from rival teams that I probably wouldn't be too keen on seeing at Old Trafford. However, transfers between rival clubs in England are less frequent than in Italy.
Although the one player, above all, I really hope doesn't sign for Manchester United is Bastian Schweinsteiger. It's nothing personal, it's just that I don't think he is as good as he's made out to be.
In the event that Cristiano Ronaldo's contract is sold, I really hope Sir Alex Ferguson targets other transfers than the German winger.
So what about everyone else? Who is the one player your club shouldn't sign?

I know I'll get flak for saying this, but Cristiano Ronaldo. I can't bring myself to root for any team that he's a part of. I won't deny his huge talents, but I don't care for his whining and theatrics on the pitch.

even as a united fan i wont give you flak... i oo am tired of his ego and personality
best player in the world, but even though i dont know him personally i dont think it would be much of a challenge to find a more lieable human being

I'm really hoping Everton don't sign David Bentley as a replacement to Mikel Arteta. In my opinion he's just another overrated and overpriced English player with average skills, and would not be a good addition to our squad.

As a Juventus fan, I want the signings to be quality and all that jazz, and Stankovic would be a quality signing. However, considering what he has done in the past (blew off Juve to sign with Inter, talk smack about Juve after the match fixing scandal), I don't want to see him in black and white.

I am a Real Madrid fan, and I don't want Cristiano Ronaldo. Yep, I said it.
I also don't want Drogba. Not the kind of player we should be looking to sign. We need Diego/Kaka, and Huntelaar/Benzema.

Ronaldo, Savage, Gerrard, Carragher, Eboue are a few.

Joey Barton. I cannot believe that this thug is still looked upon as someone that a team would want to have. Assaults on team mates, members of the public, debatable on-pitch temperament? No thank you!
